Link server Setup

  • Here is my setup for link server

    Server4 = KERBEROS/Standard/Mixed Mode/delegation set to 1

    Server5 = KERBEROS/Enterprise/Mixed Mode/delegation set to 1

    when i connect to Server5 and query

    select * from Server4.master.dbo.sysdatabases, I get an error

    Msg 18456, Level 14, State 1, Line 1

    Login failed for user 'NT AUTHORITY\ANONYMOUS LOGON'.

    When I checked authentication of the login by running this query

    SELECT

    s.session_id

    , c.connect_time

    , s.login_time

    , s.login_name

    , c.protocol_type

    , c.auth_scheme

    , s.HOST_NAME

    , s.program_name

    FROM sys.dm_exec_sessions s

    JOIN sys.dm_exec_connections c

    ON s.session_id = c.session_id

    I get KERBEROS only for my login and the rest including the service account i get NTLM, is this something wrong setup?

  • Is the login a user on the remote server? If not use option:

    login using the current users security context and enter the login and password by going into the properties tab of ur linked server..

    Thanks!!

  • Yes I do setup my link server to use current users security context but still the same error.

    I was just wondering why only my login shows KERBEROS why not service account and other logins. I doubt if my i missed anything during authentication and delegation setup.

  • Hope attached do help you in this.
